As promised, here is a series of “still life” photos taken on our recent trip to Ireland. Wherever we travel, the colors, textures and geometric patterns found in doorways and building facades seem to characterize the aesthetic culture of a place. I love how bold paint hues contrast with whitewash and stone in Ireland. The following pictures are from Clifden, the island of Inishbofin and Galway.
Polly Doll just returned from a fabulous week in western Ireland. Here she is having her photo taken in Connemara National Park. The view from the cairn atop Diamond Hill was awesome!
She enjoyed staying in Clifden…
with its many pubs…
and fuchsia growing along the side of the road.
Polly walked along the quay…
and crawled through a trap.
Polly met peat…
and heather.
She visited a castle ruin…
and took a side trip to the island of Inishbofin.
Polly felt most at home in the moss. Her Aran knit sweater was warm and cozy in the nippy air. See how her outfit was made here. More pictures of the trip will be coming soon, including the customary doorways.
